ugly people have sex with ugly people because its better to have an ugly partner to help you pass along your genes then no partner at all.
there are many couples where on partner seems quite a lot better looking than the other. this is because looks aren't the most important criteria to everyone.
This is true.
Males tend to focus on looks when assessing a potential mate, whereas women tend to focus on power, status, wealth, ability to take care of the family etc.
Of course, a lot of these things are happening unconsciously. But the funny thing is that a lot of guys (men) are really frank about them preferring looks over other attributes.
it's really not universal for men, because you see women who are less typically good-looking than their partners. so maybe those men are not as interested in appearance, or else they may have atypical tastes. honestly i think most people care about looks to some degree, but individual tastes vary a lot.
and women are not universally focused on wealth or status or power either. women have become quite capable of making their own money and gaining their own power. most people are not interested in dating someone who has no money at all, whether that person is male or female.
I agree, I would at least like to be sexually attracted to a woman if I am going to date her, but I think that men have different things they find attractive when it comes to looks, rather than looks not mattering, just there are a broad spectrum. I like big girls and skinny girls (not too extreme though).
Women are not necessarily interested in wealth or status or power, but at the same time they do not want someone who "lacks ambition". Some women believe having a job means having ambition, which is annoying, as I don't really want to be employed, I want to find a way to make money without doing that.
